I keep your favorite words inside my back pocket, within reach.
If I used one, would you be in shock?
You don't expect me to pay attention when you talk.

You overlook my limerence in your hurry,
While I tread after you, picking up the little pieces of you;
Be it a billet-doux, or a beloved melody.
You adore him, and I wish so damn hard that it was me.

That idiot, he got you out of sheer luck.
Does he even know your love language?
